Martin<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Nevada Motel dares to disturb, with its Atomic Period architecture, turquoise green door frames, and\u00a0jolting patio floors.

People driving around Long Sands Beach slow to look at the creation, this last outpost in the quiet town. Twenty-one rooms are flung open to the crowds, and it\u2019s the artists\u2019 (15 visiting, six local) will to do with them what they may, one per room.
